ABOUT THE CE M(C G SS COOKTOP

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the

surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area

of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan

matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figs. 1

&2).

Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware.

Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware,

the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that

will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface

elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough

to cause burns.

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will

glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle ON and OFF. The heating

element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the OFF cycle. For

efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will

allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

COOKWAREMATERIALTYPES

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

The cookwa re material determines how evenly and quickly heat istransferred from the surface

element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials avalaible are:

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized

aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). Ifaluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass

cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scatches. Remove these marks

immediately.

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic

glass (see Aluminum above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to

Howto Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of

vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with

a soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO

NOT spray liquids directly on the control pad and display area. Do not use large

amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control area may

cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive

cleaners, scouring pads, or some paper towels - they will damage the finish.To

remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off

the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob

and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water

and a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or

chlodnes. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are

especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners

from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

COOKTOP CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended

Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface. A sample of that cleaning creme

is supplied with your cooktop and it is available in most hardware stores.

Clean and buff with a paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when

soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a

protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause

metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed

immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning

cream. Metal marks can become permanent ifnot removed prior to future

use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the

cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your

cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the

cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they

may cause it to crack or break.
